Here's the greenest color on the hill this week, a high n dry kite. I won't be able to clean up that one, so it's sure to be flapping over head for awhile. Note: when you go fly a kite kids, stick to the beaches n fields away from the woods...
The birds can always use a wind-sock...

Different un-natural objects often take up random residence on the wooded hill. Last May there was a ball followed for several (1 2 3 4) posts as it was covered in vegetation..

In April '07 there was a stuck swim-tube reported by ESR, which was pretty funny. I'm both amused n embittered by these un-natural artifacts glitching up the scenery across the road.

Across town where it's alot warmer lately, I went to do some business at Town Hall today, n found some crocus blooms near the parking lot. After a week of gusty winds, rain, n clouds, the past two days have been mild n sunny, coaxing lawns to begin greening up. Today was a balmy 56F afternoon on the car wash sign. That's amazing when you consider it was 34F at dawn before I went to bed.



I'm not sure what this plant is. It was in that same garden. About eight of them were arranged in a circle around a sleeping shrub.

Easter week is upon us already. I wish I had more time for the little ones, but I have to keep working holidays for now. I've been eating too much early candy. The small, snackable sizes are just too easy to use as a pick-me-up.

My nine paged state tax forms finally got copied n mailed this week- whew! I made it out to vote in the town election. My nieghbor ran for a committee position, n I still don't know who won. I got quite a bit done, n worked long hours too. What I missed, was sleeping. Each day I had time allotted for it, the young downstairs folks managed to awaken me with loud noise much of the time.
My indoor allergies tend to peak every April, n my eyes are so red, puffy, n burning I'm going thru eyedrops like crazy this week. Time to prepare for tree pollen soon. I usually get severe head-aches. We'll see if the naural healing recommended live-culture yogurt daily eating has any effect on having milder symptoms this time.

There's tons of outdoor clean-up awaiting more sunshine warmth. The deck is a leafy mess, n about twenty plant containers need an overhaul. All the little evergreen trees are pot-bound. I managed to plant some seeds inside this week also. The ToDo's is a long list. I'm certainly good at keeping myself active n too busy. I enjoy the plants tho, it's theraputic, n they grow for me.

Now if those downstairs people would just go fly a kite more often, I might get progress on a few more hours of needed rest...
